Abstract:
The results of experimental studies of microexplosive fragmentation of water-fuel oil droplets with the addition of the ION-M additive are presented. The studies were carried out at a gas-air temperature of about 800$^\circ$C. The characteristics of the formation of secondary fragments during microexplosive fragmentation of water-fuel oil droplets were studied by varying the concentration of the ION-M additive. It has been shown that the addition of the ION-M additive (0.5 vol.to an increase in the number of secondary fragments by almost 60%, as well as a decrease in their average size by 30–50%. It has been established that when adding the ION-M additive (0.5 vol.ratio of free surface areas after and before fragmentation increases by almost 65% compared to that for water-fuel oil fuel without the additive. Key words: water-fuel oil emulsion, microexplosion, fragmentation, secondary fragments, additives.
